Elle did not move. She could not avert her eyes either and just kept her gaze staring straight at Sebastian and that beautiful woman sashaying by his side.

Could he be trying to push her buttons to see if she could maintain her patience and calmness? Could he be setting these situations up to find out if she would lose control and demand for him to come or if she would take matters into her own hands and appear at the Reigns residence, and introduce herself as the crown prince's fiancé?
